"Our Services are not directed to children who are under the age of 13. Ideogram does not knowingly collect Personal Information from children under the age of 13. If we learn that we have collected Personal Information of a child without the permission of the child's parent or guardian, we will promptly delete that Personal Information and terminate that child's account. The Services are only available to users who are 18 years of age or older for paid features and services.— Excerpt from Ideogram's Ideogram Terms of Service
REGULATORY LANDSCAPE: The under-13 prohibition directly implicates COPPA, which requires verifiable parental consent before collecting personal information from children under 13 and is enforced by the FTC. The 18-and-over requirement for paid services is an additional voluntary restriction that exceeds COPPA's minimum age threshold but creates its own verification and enforcement obligations. GOVERNANCE EXPOSURE: Medium. The document states that Ideogram does not knowingly collect data from under-13 users, but the platform's reliance on self-reported age at registration, without verified age assurance mechanisms, is a common area of regulatory scrutiny for AI platforms. The UK Age Appropriate Design Code and EU proposals on child safety online may impose stricter obligations for international operations. JURISDICTION FLAGS: The UK Children's Code (Age Appropriate Design Code) requires platforms likely to be accessed by children under 18 to apply high privacy settings by default and assess data protection implications. EU regulations addressing child safety online may impose additional obligations beyond the document's current provisions. California's Age Appropriate Design Act may also require additional protections for users under 18. CONTRACT AND VENDOR IMPLICATIONS: Organizations deploying Ideogram in educational contexts or consumer-facing environments where minors may access the platform should conduct a separate risk assessment and may need to implement additional age verification controls beyond those described in the terms. COMPLIANCE CONSIDERATIONS: Legal teams should evaluate whether Ideogram's age verification mechanisms (which appear to rely on self-declaration) are sufficient under COPPA and applicable state law, and whether the platform's design adequately prevents under-13 users from accessing the service without parental consent.
